About this listen

A brand-new stand-alone novel in the New York Times best-selling Briar U series!

What I learned after last year’s distractions cost my hockey team our entire season? No more screwing up. No more screwing, period. As the new team captain, I need a new philosophy: hockey and school now, women later. Which means that I, Hunter Davenport, am officially going celibate...no matter how hard that makes things.

But there’s nothing in the rulebook that says I can’t be friends with a woman. And I won’t lie - my new classmate Demi Davis is one cool chick. Her smart mouth is hot as hell, and so is the rest of her, but the fact that she’s got a boyfriend eliminates the temptation to touch her.

Except three months into our friendship, Demi is single and looking for a rebound.

And she’s making a play for me.

Avoiding her is impossible. We’re paired up on a yearlong school project, but I’m confident I can resist her. We’d never work, anyway. Our backgrounds are too different, our goals aren’t aligned, and her parents hate my guts.

Hooking up is a very bad idea. Now I just have to convince my body - and my heart.

Another great Briar U book. I love the way the characters continue in each book, so every though each book is read alone, they are still interconnected. Highly recommend for a quick, easy read (or in this case listen to!)

Elle Kennedy Rocks!

The female narrator is suitable for children's books but was not a good fit for this audiobook. I had to switch to the eBook because the sex scenes were uncomfortably cringeworthy to listen to, especially in contrast to the deeper male voice.

Female narrator is good but not for this book

Just loved this story of what starts out as a student assignment. Turns to friendship, then turns to more. Both helping each other out along the way.
Narration was amazing.

Wow

I love Hunter’s storyline! I felt so bad for him in ‘the chase’ so I really enjoyed his progression

Enjoyed this

Both the story and performance was good.
A handful of times the audio rewound ~5 seconds and repeated itself so whoever clipped the book together missed a listen through after.
First time it happened I thought I’d somehow accidentally hit the rewind button but it happened a few more times after that.

Story & performance good, audio skips

My favourite of the Briar U series so far

I didn’t mind the storyline, the characters were likeable and Teddy is fantastic as always. I’m sorry, the female narrator was very hard to listen to. Her childish voice was off putting when listening to the intimate scenes and plain annoying overall.

Thank goodness for Teddy

The female character was poorly constructed and her narration was grinding. I didn’t enjoy this book anywhere near as much as I enjoyed the first two.

Dud after the first two
